I like a traditional tapas place more than the next person, I'll admit. This place delivers on food and ambience. On Fridays & Sats (call ahead to ensure it's happening) there is live music or flamenco dancers! also located right next to the canal in Old Town so it's fun to stroll after your meal.

This. Place. Is. Unreal. First of all, you'll love Carefree - it's a small town chock full of artisans. In the middle of it is this amazing little tea room (rezos a good idea if in high season). They serve high tea from 11-4 (usually, check website for details) and it's shockingly good - as well as the robust tea menu. Plus, it's a little slice of England in AZ. HIGHLY recommend for kids and adults alike.
